Kevin Costner has something much better. He says that he was inspired by the Exxon-Valdez oil spill to invent something that could actually clean the ocean. His invention, called Ocean Therapy was approved by the Army Corp of Engineers, and BP has agreed to use six of the inventions to try to clean the oil spill. I’d imagine they are jumping at the chance.

Costner has been paying millions since 1989 when the Exxon-Valdez oil spill devastated Alaska waters. The device sucks out oily water, separates it, then spits the clean water back into the ocean.

“I’m just really happy that the light of day has come to this,” Costner said. “It’s prepared to go out and solve problems, not talk about them.”

I hope and pray that Kevin Costner’s invention can do the trick. Something’s gotta give,now.
